Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 224
The leaves of the trees withered, turned yellow and fell, and when the spring breeze blows in the coming year, the flowers and plants will turn green again.

Several stately carriages drove out from the south gate one after another, and some lively people inquired about it, only then did they learn that today is the year of the late Mrs. Went to the family tomb to worship.

The carriage meandered away and gradually came to a quiet mountain road.Because many honorable families in the capital built their ancestral tombs in the area of ​​Pingshan. In order to please the nobles, the mountain road was built on a leveler ground than the official road. bumpy.

"Tangtang put down." Lu Mingyu held her son who just turned one year old in her arms. Brother Zhen started to sleep when he came out of the Duke's mansion. Now he woke up, moaning and wanting to nurse.Lu Mingyu was about to unbutton her clothes, when the car suddenly lit up, she looked up and saw her daughter leaning towards the window and opened the curtains, she hastily said in a soft voice.

Tangtang still held the curtain with her little hand, and looked back at her mother.

Lu Mingyu looked at his son, and coaxed helplessly: "Mother wants to feed my brother, so I can't let anyone see it."

Tangtang was very sensible, turned around to put down the curtains, but when she turned around, she saw her father approaching on a big horse.Tangtang suddenly forgot her mother's instructions, and asked the tall man on the horse with her small face up, "Daddy, are you hot? I'm so hot in the car."

In late May, when the sun is shining, it is very hot.

"Daddy isn't hot." Chu Xing slowed down and walked side by side with the carriage. When he lowered his head to look at his daughter, he took a look inside, and saw the white and fat son in his mother's arms, constantly exerting force on his mother's chest Son, and Lu Mingyu was staring at him angrily.

Chu Xing smiled, touched his daughter's little head, and said in a low voice: "Tangtang will help mother to coax younger brother, and father will come back later."

Tangtang nodded obediently.

Chu Xing helped his daughter put down the curtains, but she didn't leave, just listening to the movement inside.

Lu Mingyu unbuttoned his clothes, Brother Zhen immediately started to eat, Tangtang bent over and stood in front of his mother, with one hand supporting his mother's arm and the other on his mother's knee, watching his brother eat intently.Brother Zhen squinted at his sister, fearing that her sister would rob him, so he raised his little hand to cover the other side of his mother while eating.

"I'm not greedy!" Tangtang said with a chuckle.

Brother Zhen glanced at his sister again.

Lu Mingyu laughed at her daughter in a low voice: "Tangtang was like this when she was a child, afraid that others would rob you."

Tangtang looked at her mother, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Mother, I'm afraid someone will steal it from me?" When she was breastfeeding when she was a child, did anyone watch her eat like this?

Lu Mingyu's cheeks were inexplicably hot, and she didn't have the nerve to tell her daughter that it was her good father who liked to grab food from her.

Chu Xing heard the conversation between the two girls outside the window, recalling the emotion at that time, the corners of his lips curled up.

When Brother Zhen was full, the carriage also stopped outside the family tomb of the Duke's Mansion.

A year has passed, and all the sadness has faded away, but when they really went outside the cemetery, there was still a layer of sadness in everyone's heart.Chu Xing got off the horse, first took Brother Zhen and hugged him in his arms, before Lu Mingyu got off the car, he specially instructed his daughter to be obedient and not to run around and scream.

Tangtang knew that her great-grandfather and great-grandmother were sleeping, so she obediently let her mother lead her. Even if she saw a particularly beautiful little red flower on the road, Tangtang held back and did not excitedly ask her mother what it was like before. what flower.

After paying homage to Mrs. Tai, Chu Xing and Chu Sui brothers and sisters officially released their clothes and can resume their normal lives.With Chu Xingguan reinstated, Lu Mingyu can take his two children out as guests as he pleases, including entering the palace to visit his aunt, the sixth prince, and the eldest princess who was born in September last year, the only princess of Emperor Ming Hui so far.

But what Lu Mingyu was most happy about was that she did not miss her grandfather's [-]th birthday.

For Lu Zhan's birthday on the second day of August, at the beginning of the year Chu Xing began to collect birthday gifts for the old man, and his subordinates sent something new to the mansion every once in a while, and Chu Xing saved everything.There are still five days left before Lu Zhan's birthday, Chu Xing is holding Brother Zhen, Lu Mingyu is holding his daughter, and the family of four went to the warehouse to pick out gifts and choose the best one.

Brother Zhen likes a pair of red coral trees in the shape of a crane the most. He stretched out his small hands and kept touching them. He wanted to get close to them and take a bite, but Chu Xing fooled them with a piece of red agate stone.Brother Zhen was stupid, holding the agate stone and laughing non-stop, holding it in his arms if he couldn't chew it.

"Mom, what's in here?" Tangtang squatted down at the last row of the shelf and asked, pointing to a red sandalwood gift box.There was a word on the bottom of the gift box, but Tangtang didn't recognize it.

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "Tangtang open it and have a look."

Tangtang likes to open boxes the most, and with her mother's permission, she excitedly hugged the gift box to the ground and opened it in a leisurely manner.Brother Zhen lowered his head and looked at his sister without blinking. Chu Xing supported his son's little hand with his big hand, preventing the agate stone inside from falling and hitting his daughter.

The box was opened, revealing a round yellow stone, crystal clear like glass, and inside the stone was a green pine branch, about two inches long.Tangtang liked colored stones the most, and she touched them curiously. Lu Mingyu knelt down and explained softly to her daughter: "This is called amber, and the pine tree symbolizes longevity. Tangtang gave this to my great-grandfather to wish my great-grandfather a long life. Hundred years old."

When Tangtang heard this, she immediately shouted: "Then I'll give this to my great-grandfather!"

She likes her great-grandfather, and hopes that her great-grandfather can live to be a hundred years old, two hundred years old, and live forever.

Lu Mingyu kissed her daughter in relief.Knowing filial piety at such a young age, she thought her daughter would take it for herself.

On the day of Lu Zhan's birthday, Lu Mingyu and Chu Xing gave two birthday presents, one was the crane-shaped red coral tree that Brother Zhen liked, and the other was the pine amber personally selected by Tangtang.Brother Zhen still doesn't know how to say auspicious words, but Tangtang's little mouth is so sweet. After being hugged by Lu Zhan, the little girl hugged his neck and said crisply: "I wish great-grandfather evergreen pines and cypresses, and a long life!"

Lu Zhan was so strange that he hugged Brother Zhen in one hand and Tangtang in the other, and the siblings kissed each other.

When the guests were filling the door and it was bustling, suddenly a slender voice proclaimed loudly: "The emperor is here, and the empress is here..."

God is coming!

The hall and courtyard fell silent immediately, and then Lu Zhan took the lead and led all the descendants of the Lu family to welcome them out.Last year, Lu Yun successfully gave birth to the eldest princess. Ming Hui Emperor Longyan Dayue made Lu Yun his queen, and announced to the world that the Lu family was more honored than before.

Outside the gate of Lu Mansion, Emperor Minghui bent down and leaned out from the carriage, wearing an apricot yellow dragon robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, imposing manner, obviously in his early forties, he looked no different from his thirties.After standing up, he turned around and hugged the sixth prince who was following him, then hugged the eldest princess with one hand, and helped Lu Yun get off the car with the other.

"The old minister pays respects to the emperor and the empress." Lu Zhan bowed first.

"Father-in-law is free, today we only talk about Weng and son-in-law, not about monarchs and ministers." Emperor Ming Hui patted the sixth prince on the shoulder and motioned for his son to help Lu Zhan.

The sixth prince is three years old, lively and clever, because he is often brought to play in the front hall by Emperor Ming Hui, and he is very familiar with his grandfather who is the Minister of the Ministry of War. stand up!"

Lu Zhan looked at the emperor's son-in-law whom he had been extremely disliked, and then at the pair of sons and daughters born to the empress doted on by his daughter. Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice came from behind, "Uncle Biao, why did you come here?"

Lu Zhan was stunned.

The sixth prince had already turned his head and saw Tangtang who was being held in Chu Xing's arms.Seeing the niece, the sixth prince grinned, and hurried to play with the niece, urging his grandfather to let him go down. Tangtang over there didn't even ask his father, and arched his small body skillfully. Chu Xing had no choice but to bend down to let his daughter go.

"Let's go, I'll show you my gift!" Tangtang took the sixth prince's little hand and ran inside excitedly.

It is rare for the sixth prince to go out of the palace to participate in such excitement, so he couldn't wait to follow his niece.

The eldest princess will be one year old next month, and she knows that she is clingy. She watched her brother leave her to play with others, but the little girl quit immediately. The chubby finger landed in Lu's mansion, and groaned at her father aggrievedly.Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty patted his daughter with a smile, pointed to brother Zhen who was in Lu Rong's arms not far away, and said, "Don't worry about Fu'an, let's play with brother Zhen."

Those who can run play with those who can run, and those who can crawl play with those who can crawl.

Only then did the eldest princess find out that there was a boy about her age over there. Facing Brother Zhen's watery eyes, the eldest princess blinked, suddenly smiled, and shouted to Brother Zhen vaguely, " elder brother".

Brother Zhen can only call elder sister, and he is courteous, calling elder sister to the eldest princess.

Chu Xing smiled.

Emperor Ming Hui laughed loudly, raised his silly daughter and said, "Fu An is wrong, we are a generation older than Brother Zhen, you have to call him nephew."

The eldest princess couldn't understand, so she continued to call her brother.

Lu Mingyu approached her grandmother with a smile, and said angrily in a low voice, "It's all because my grandmother gave birth to my aunt so late, look at the chaos now."

Mrs. Zhu looked at her daughter who was walking towards her, patted Lu Mingyu's little hand and said with a smile, "It's a good thing she was born late, otherwise your aunt might not have such a good marriage."

After hearing this, Lu Mingyu couldn't help looking at her aunt. The eyes of the nephew and aunt met, and Lu Yun wondered, "What are you looking at, Ah Nuan?" I always felt that my niece's eyes were a little strange just now, as if she saw someone else through her.

Lu Mingyu skillfully joked: "Auntie is getting more and more beautiful, can't I just take a second look?"

Lu Yun gave his niece a look like an elder.

Lu Mingyu held her aunt's arm affectionately, and when she turned around and walked in, her peachy eyes glanced at Emperor Ming Hui who was holding the eldest princess, and finally fell on Chu Xing.If Chu Xing was aware of it, looking at her, his face was as handsome as before, but he was not as cold and indifferent as when he first met in this life.

Lu Mingyu smiled.

In fact, to this day, she still can't figure out why she can live an extra life and have the opportunity to come back again, but looking at the living relatives around her, seeing that their lives are happier than in the previous life, Lu Mingyu can't help but feel grateful.I am grateful to God, to Chu Xing, to everyone who accompanied her in happiness, and to them for giving her a brand new life.

Just like the peony in the garden, after the bone-chilling winter, it blooms again with the warmth of spring, and the fragrance of the flowers becomes stronger.
